“We started jamming to find some music for the 4-7-8 breathing, and it sounded like prog rock. Nobody wants that.”

It is amazing how much of a difference just breathing deeply and thoughtfully makes. It’s just that unfortunately when we’re stressed and tired, it’s difficult to slow ourselves down and essentially put life on pause and breathe deeply. But it’s so worth it - genuinely life changing

@AnnelienNieman Месяц назад

So happy that you changed the 4-7-8 to a 4-8-8 breathing! I've had the same issue with the 7, and have been doing the 4-8-8 for myself and clients for a while!

I began using this and could not believe how I felt Ironically, I have multiple lung nodules, which have been diagnosed as ground glass.

I first heard of buteyko breathing in James Nestor’s book. Since then have learned it and it is absolutely life changing!

Docotor James, I think you are great, to give us this wonderful oportunity, that I must send to everybody. Mi reverencia para usted.

I'm reading his book 'Breath' at the moment. Very well researched with Mr Nestor placing himself at the centre of many controlled experiments. Highly recommended.

@jeromealexander259 4 дня назад

I am reading his book at the moment. While it is very interesting, it is incredibly easy to be sceptical about the way he presents the evidence - by this I mean he misses an ENORMOUS amount of contributing factors to various things. Stough was no doubt an innovator, but the Olympic team did prepare at altitude before the Mexico Olympics...and Nestor completely ignores that fact that the team trained at altitude. He also ignores modern lifestyles (activity basis) as well. It doesn't get a mention at all. It is as if he is trying to be sensationalist rather than factful.

@ceeell5772 Месяц назад

Both of these breathing patterns are too slow for me. But it’s been a good reminder to a more mindful breather though. Even though I know this stuff I don’t do it thoughtfully. I bought your book a few years ago and am now listening to it from my library. I’m so glad for the audio review and the book to reference. I mouth tape every single night or even for a nap. I read Close Your Mouth as well. Such valuable information. Thank you.

@bbcmaestro Is there a way to get the wonderful piano play from the coherent breathing exercise as a stand alone piece?

@BronwenKRoberts Месяц назад

I want to hear the 4-7-8 prog rock jam.

@barbfaison1333 Месяц назад

Thank you for this. I read James Nestor’s book, Breath, and it has had a powerful effect on me. I shared the book with my 40 yr old daughter. Same. We mouth tape for sleep (no more snoring) and have changed how we breathe during exercise and yoga. (Nasal breathing) 👍🏼So powerful.

I want prog rock, liked and subscribed, feeling so relaxed after the 4-7-8 breathing.

@eviebarton 14 дней назад

Ditto, I’ve doing and teaching the 4-7-8 breathing for years and prefer it.

@healthyspineyoga5079 8 дней назад

I've been doing breathing exercises for 2 years now. I feel 10 years younger

@markothwriter 28 дней назад

There's a lot of value in the exhale, and value in holding the breath. High CO2 pulls the oxygen out of the bloodstream and into the cells.

@16Elless 18 дней назад

With Coherent Breathing I almost don’t feel ready to inhale after the exhale for 6, probably just need more practice. With the 4-8-8 I find the hold of 8 a bit of a challenge so tend to do 4-6-8 or 4-6-10 (which is 3 rounds per 60 seconds, same as 4-8-8) as I seem to be able to extend my out breath more easily. I don’t know if that has the same effect.

The Four-8-Eight 👍

@kimweidman9772 10 дней назад

Explain to me how the 4-7-8 or 4-8-8 breathing is calming. I understand Weil promoted this in his book, but just because he said it doesn't make it so. My understanding of the breathing cycle says the 4-7-8 breath is energizing, not calming. You are activating the SNS for 4+7 and the PNS 8... that's energizing. So explain the physiology please.

@philipholding 24 дня назад

Good,good, good. But, a little caveat. Watch out for people with clinically somatic, health anxiety conditions. Also ptsd etc with trauma events associated with breathing.choking, sufficating,stragulation, etc etc. ( retired nhs psychotherapist).

@judixx 8 дней назад

I am curious. Would you think breathing exercise is an no-no for them? Or would you think it should be titrated or adjusted for this special patient population, according to your experience ?

@taameemalmaliki696 Месяц назад

Is the exhale via mouth ?

@debmorrison2126 28 дней назад

Nasal breathing for both inhale and exhale

@jojolouis 18 дней назад

Dr. Andrew Weil exhale through the mouth. See his youtube videos on it.

@swent45 17 дней назад

And he adds a whoosh sound to the exhale with the tongue on the roof of the mouth next to the ridge of the back of the teeth.

@EmorettaRobinson 6 дней назад

Has anyone been doing the breathing exercises with different tongue posters?

@clarepover4978 8 часов назад

@taameemalmaliki696 Месяц назад

Is the 4 7 8 all via nose or exhale via mouth

@SJ-ci7vm Месяц назад

I believe it's all through the nose. He is a big proponent of nasal breathing and his book, "Breath'" that I'm reading right now, discusses that in detail.

@jojolouis 18 дней назад

Dr. Andrew Weil recommend silent inhale through the mouth and making a sound on the exhale (tongue touching the upper palate) he's got several videos on youtube explaining it.

I feel like my lung capacity only allows for 3-4 seconds of inhalation

@jojolouis 18 дней назад

Start like this, see where it takes you.

@danieljones1784 15 дней назад

Same here. Only do it maybe 3 or 4 seconds

@TotalOneEighty 13 дней назад

It will improve over time. Stay the course and focus on your diaphragm

Christening a new breathing technique… from 4 7 8 to 4 8 8 … that sounds a little excessive 😅

I thought stephen elliot is the coherent guy ???

@heatherdavis7303 18 дней назад

Yes! Stephen Elliott is the founder of Coherent Breathing. Richard Brown and Patricia Gerbarg use Coherent Breathing and thanks to their work and James Nestor’s it has become more widely known in the mainstream,
